Richard EagelstOn, a farmer in the

had a thrilling experience with large

Jeanne ANDREE's CAREER
1t Was a Curiously Varied One,
Even for Partisan Belle

1t Was a CuriouSly Varied One,
Even for Partisan Belle
Petite.
Boston Transcript Paris Letter.
The mad houses are becoming rapidly
peopled with persons of note. Jeanne
Andree was few days since taken to
the asylum of st. Anne. This is the
dismal ending of a dazzling career.
Jeanne Andree was an actress who
shOne more by her beauty than by her
talent, but she nevertheless shOne with
an extraordinary luster. She owned
magnificent carriages, horses of the
purest blood, and jewels fit for an
empress. For a few years she was the
reigning beauty of Paris. Then the
whim entered her head that she would
like title. She had no difficulty in
finding one. She became the ComteSse
de Beguelin and was taken by her huS-
band to Berlin. The count having died,
she left Germany for Russia and there
became mOrganatic grand duchess.
When the war of 1870 broke out she
returned to Paris and transformed the
mansion which she still owned there
into an ambulance. She dressed the
wounds of soldiers who were brought in
and earned the lasting gratitude of
many. Since the war she has been almost
forgotten. Of the fortunes which her
extravaganza had engulfed nothing at
length remained. She had lived upon
her last jewels when a few weeks since,
charity organized a performance for her
benefit at the Gazette. The receipts
barely covered the expenses, For years
she was engaged in Il law suit in connec-
ton with the estate of the Comte de
Begucciiin. She was convinced that
when the settlement came she would
have at least 1OO,uUGG francs. A fort
night ago she was informed tnat S she had
gained her case and that, the expenses
being deducted, she was entitled to
1000 francs.
This shock was too much for her
brain. She told her friends that she had
just inherited a fortune of several
millions and went to the Palais Royal to
buy children's toys. She ordered IL, 900
dolls, 5000 punches, and 5000 boxes of
leaden soldiers. 1t was preceived she
was a lunatic, and tue police found her
lodgings which were considered suit
able to her case. Jeanne Andrae. the
reigning beauty of other d,ys, the
breaker of fortunes, the witty, brilliant
woman, has lost her beauty, her riches
and her reason.

Not long ago he said that he sat down

again and made out that he owed the

gave it all up and went to bed. He

An agreement was struck up then and
there. Not scrap of paper was passed
between the two men. The receipts
for the first nine weeks amounted to
500, 100, and when the season was over
it was found that the earnings were
100000. Of this Barrett's share was
about 100000. 1t was by long odds the
most successful season that Booth ever
played. The trio of tragedians, Keene,
Barrett and Booth, now have the field
to themselves. All the lesser lights
have been put out. Henry Irving will
be over in the fall, however, and then
there will be some lively competition.

BLACK CHERRIES.

Rends the air the sudden locust, shrilling,
Distant hills lie shimmering in the heat;
Hot July, with fervid force, is filling
Tree and vine with juices warm and sweet
On the trellis tiny grapes are swelling.
Harvest apples gain in girth each day;
Philip whets his scythe, secret telling,
Where late strawberries stain the new
mown hay.
Morning on the farm; with cheerful voices
Homely duty calls and makes reply;
Though with bird song all the grove re-
joices
Tense with labor throbs the live July:
Sow the harvest and the harvest gather,
Pluck the fruit ere yet the fruit decay,
So earth's myriads cry to one another,
Bearing up the burden of the day.
Thick as raindrops hang the satin cherries
On each bow of the oerladen trees
Leafy weight, that half. the fruitage herrics
Set against the warm, caressing breeze.
Ardent fruit of ardent heat-a yearning
Fills my heart with all this brave array.
QUICK the cherries ripen-eome returning
Sons and daughters, flock like birds to day /!

The last mentioned of the three sur
vlvors is perhaps entitled to the honor
of being the leader in the work of or
ganlZlng German lodges of the |. o. o.
+. in Minnesota. The records show
that he became member of st. Paul
lodge i'll 1855, and of Hennepin Lodge
No. two years later, and after filling
several minor offices, passed the chair
as noble grand in 1862. In 1862, after
considerable work, Germania lodge was
organized mainly through the indefati-
gable industry and untiring efforts of
Mr.. Bergfeid. In 1868 he became grand
warden, and while he filled that posi-
ton, organized the second German
lodge in the state. the Robert Blum
Lodge No. q, Minneapolis. The fol-
lowing year he became deputy grand
master, and organized Schiller Lodge
No. 20 of MankatO, being the third Ger
man lodge in the state.
For some time after the organization
OF the lodge the meetings were held In
the same hall with the st. Paul lodge.
but this arrangement lasted but short
time. The infant lodge had hardly got
out of its swaddling clothes when the In
eyitable feeling of independence that
always exists in the American social or
ganiZation asserted itself and a new
hall was secured. This was over Lin
deke, Ladd & Co.'S Store on Third
street, and it has continued to be the
lOd ge room ever since.
The unexampled prosperity of the
new lodge did not turn the heads of the
members and thus plunge the Organiza-
ton into debt, as is frequently the case
with new organizations, and the founda-
ton of the present comfortable surplus
was laid in the early days of the society.
No hall has been erected, although
they have long had the funds
necessary for that purpose. The
members have always been very con
servative and felt that the way their
money is invested is, taken all in all,
much better and certainly safer than it
would be in any building or real estate
operations. The funds of the lodge
have always been and are at present
managed with carefulneSS and fidelity,
and Grand Scribe j. Fletcher Williams
speaks of them as follows in his Remin-
lscences of Thirty Years Membership:
81 am gratified to report that there is
no more prosperous lodge in Minnesota.
The careful manner in which they ac-
cumulate fund and avoid extra1agant
and unnecessary expenditures may well
teach their parent lodge lesson.''
The membership, while not so large
as that of st. Paul lodge, numbers its
full quota of the best and most promi-
nent business men of the city.

onwa. movement by the society
throughout this state.
From the lodge organized by those six
"good men and true way back
in 40, seven prosperous lodges
have sprung forth, six of
which aTe living and prosperous
lodges to-day, one for each of the
founders of the society in st. Paul. But
even these six sturdy SONS do not alone
tell the work done by the organizers of
st. Paul Lodge No. 2. for their influence
and that of the lodges founded by them
has gone forth far and wide, and many
are the lodges throughout the state and
the entire Northwest that have been III
spired by the history of Odd Fellowship
in Minnesota.
Of these six living and prosperous
children, the oldest and for eight years
the only living child of the parent led 5e,
is Germania Lodge No. Is, instituted
Jan. 10, 1867. The charter members
were all former members of st. Paul
lodge, who believed that the interests
of the fraternity would be best pro-
NOTED by having a lodge to
work in the German language, and
therefore withdrew from their old lodge
for the purpose of organizing Germania
lodge. The charter members were ten
in number, and were as follows: j. q.
Miller, John Thorwarth, Joseph Berg

died, others moved away, and few
have dropped out of the order. These

The musical composers have also con-
tributed their mite to the absurdities of
the stamp mania, and the ''Stamp

afflicted the ears of mortals not many
years ago. This was "the last straw"
the eliminating point. The world at
large gave loud guffaw, and since that
time the mania has been on the decline.

A Plants Peculiar propertr.

The leaves of climbing plant in India,
Gymnema sylvestre, have lately been dis
covered to possess the peculiar property
of destroying the tongues power to appre-
ciate sweets and bitters, causing quinine
and sugar to taste like chalk and sand.
The taste of pungent and saline sub
stances, astringents and acids IS not
affected. The taste of the leaves them
selves is bitterish, astringent and slightly
acid, and their effect lasts for an hour or
two after they have been chewed. In ex-
periments in Italy it has been shown that
various drugs affect what seems to be diff
ferent sets of taste nerves, but this plant
appears to give more remarkable results
than cocaine, morphia or other substances
tried. Boston Transcript
